I had my first AZ injection the other day. The federal government is doing this weird "there are risks for under 40s getting AZ, but they maybe kinda probably should get it anyway" messaging, so eventually I just said fuck it and got one. It was either that or wait months and months for Pfizer.

Not that me doing it is going to make much of a difference to the bigger picture. The government has fucked the vaccine rollout and messaging so hard that we're going to be in and out of lockdowns for months to come. I think the country is about 15% vaccinated now, which is just fucked when we've got Delta flying around everywhere.
The risk of any bad side effects from AZ is absolutely miniscule. Like winning the lottery kind of odds. The main reason I'd want another one is because AZ is a bit shit rather than any risks associated with it.

I thought recent studies showed it was pretty much on par with the mrna vaccines? At least within single digit percentages. My parents both had AZ and I'm trying to tell myself it's fine.
